Also, Nubs, that was a little on the reckless side for Domarc to get up close and personal, don't you think? His poems and songs don't need to be that epic ;)Feb 28, 2017 12:05 am

[insert the sound of a tape rewinding]
Hrm, perhaps Fjorgyn is not wont to smite those which are made of Her own flesh, thinks Felor seeing his bolt of divine energy go wide of the mark. About to move in for a more mundane attack, holds his breath as the creature's massive fists narrowly miss Domarc. That would have hurt had it connected! he thinks before noticing the small mud beings advancing.
Felor turns to face them and, brandishing his spear menacingly, shouts "We do not wish any more violence! Fjorgyn commands you, stay back!"
Cast Guidance add result to my attempt to Intimidate

Well look who got a natty 20.
The advancing mud creatures stop in their tracks as Felor rebukes them in Fjorgyn's name, then turn in retreat. Seeing their bravest compatriots turn and run, the remaining mud creatures scatter, running about chaotically for a moment until a few of them bolt for the north exit, prompting all the rest to follow them out that way.
Within a matter of seconds, the room is empty of mud creatures. The body of the dirt monster lays crumbling on the ground, nothing more now than a mound of earth.

Felor breaths a sigh of relief, glad the altercation has ended (for now). Perhaps the mountain-god Fjorgyn does hold some sway over these creatures made of earth. He moves to locate and inspect the jewelled skull that was once atop the dirt monster.

The garnets fell out when the monster was killed; they're buried in the dirt somewhere. The skull itself, caked with earth on the back side where it was embedded in the monster's body, lies a few feet away. It's an old, yellowed human skull with considerable wear and tear on it, otherwise unremarkable.

"There must have been some enchantment on that skull," Domarc says, poking through the dirt with his rapier in search of the garnets. "I don't think you get dirt monsters without it."
"The mud creatures mentioned a Master before they goaded this beast into attacking us; they claimed we were here to do harm to the Master, though the beast thought we might only want to talk. So I think our search is for the Master."

Imgur is acting up right now, so no map update yet. There wouldn't be much to add to it except for rough outlines of what Quggyeb scouted.
Domarc finds a number of rocks and pebbles while searching through the remains of the dirt monster, but does not turn up the garnets.

Zangua sees that most of the group is interested in the remains of the large dirt monster. He elects to not pursue the smaller mud creatures, mindful that running off solo is probably a recipe for disaster.

Or should we go south? That was the door the mud critters clustered around, although I'm not sure if they were guarding it or if that was just a reaction to us coming in from the opposite direction.

Like Domarc, Vhezyen has an interest in the garnets, and sifts through the dirt with his short sword to to look for them. He speaks as an afterthought while doing so. "Those mud-men might have been guarding something important. Perhaps their precious 'metals'. We should see what lies beyond." He points past where the mudmen were, then examines the skull, in an effort gauge how old it is.
An Investigation roll to find the garnets, and History to gauge the skull's age. Also, I think we should definitely head south, to see what the mud-men were guarding(?).
Just a heads up, Vhezyen is out of spells for the day.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. I'm good with south if the rest of the group is.

Domarc makes a face at learning that Vhezyen is out of spells. "I was hoping you might be able to determine what type of magic created the "Child"," he says. "But I guess we have to settle for mucking about in its remains."

How about give me an Arcana roll too, Vhezyen?
Vhezyen finds the pair of garnets in the dirt, then examines the skull closely. If he had to guess, he'd say it's a few hundred years old, at least.
